Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 58

When the doctor came out, he noticed the grim look on Samuel's face and was about to leavequickly, not wishing to land himself in trouble.”Stop right there,” Samuel said in an icy voice.Thedoctor halted and asked nervously, “Mr. Macari, what can I help you with?"“Have you watched therecording of the surveillance cameras?” Samuel asked coldly. The doctor nodded. “Yes, of course.This is a serious matter.”“What did Kathleen use to put that man under control?” Samuelfrowned.The doctor answered, “It's a silver needle used in acupuncture. Last night, Benjamin'ssituation was crucial, and she used a silver needle to save him."A silver needle?Samuel never knewthat Kathleen possessed such a skill."Her granddad was a traditional medicine doctor. He even heldthe position as an advisor in the National Traditional Medicine Hospital headquarters,” the doctorexplained.Samuel fell silent as he was unaware of that.He never took the initiative to know moreabout Kathleen, despite the fact that she had been right in front of him.Yet, not once did he at leasttry to understand her wholeheartedly.”l see.” Samuel nodded.Then, he turned to Tyson and ordered,“Go and replace that man.""Yes, roger that,” Tyson replied in a serious tone.After that, Samuel went tolook for Nicolette.Nicolette was just done combing her hair.She felt anxious when she saw that abunch of her hair had fallen again.If this continues, I might actually die...At that moment, she heardfootsteps coming from outside and immediately put on her hat.Samuel walked into the room, hiseyes dark and cold.Nicolette was about to hide her fallen hair, but Samuel walked toward her andseized the strands of hair in her palm.She was so afraid that her eyes turned red. “Samuel, if I oneday lose all of my hair, would you come to resent me?“Samuel shook his head.Nicolette’s eyeswelled up in tears at once.She hugged Samuel and said, “I knew you wouldn't."Heating that, Samuelfelt a weight in his heart.Nicolette then continued through sobs, “Samuel, I don't want the bonemarrow anymore. Can you just divorce her? I want to spend my remaining days with you. That way, Iwon't have any regrets even if I die.”She wanted Samuel and Kathleen to get a divorce as soon aspossible, at any cost. She did not want Samuel to hesitate anymore.His hesitation showed that heheld feelings for Kathleen.Nicolette could not let things develop this way. At this rate, she wouldlose Samuel forever."Samuel, let's get married. The greatest wish in my life is to marry you. After Ifulfill my wish, I can die without regret,” Nicolette persuaded through tears in a pitiful voice.Samuelstayed silent and did not say anything.Nicolette felt uneasy and urged, “Samuel?"However, hepushed Nicolette away. “We should wait a bit longer. I won't let you die,” he saidindifferently.Nicolette sobbed while looking at him. “Samuel, I want to take our wedding photosbefore I lose all of my hair. Can you do that for me?”Samuel paused for a while before agreeing.Atthat, Nicolette’s mood lightened up. “Shall we go dress fitting tomorrow then?"*“Okay,” Samuelreplied.Nicolette was very pleased with the outcome.As far as she knew, Kathleen had never worn awedding dress or taken wedding photos with Samuel.” There's something I want to ask you,” Samuelsaid with a serious expression.”"What is it?" Nicolette glanced at him nervously.”Did you sendsomeone to hurt Kathleen?” Samuel asked with a calm voice.Nicolette was stunned.She hadassumed that he would ask whether she was the one who sent the man who removed Benjamin'soxygen mask the day before.To her surprise, he asked about Kathleen.”l didn't. Samuel, why would Ido something like that? Even if I wanted to do it, I don't even know who to ask in the first place.”Nicolette shook her head, looking as if she felt deeply wronged.Samuel stared right into her eyes. “Isit really not you?“Nicolette forcefully shook her head. “No.”I'll trust you this time,” Samuel saidflatly. Trust me this time? Shouldn't you trust me no matter what? Samuel, you've changed..."Restwell and take care. We'll talk about taking the wedding photos next time.” As he finished his words,Samuel turned and left the room.Nicolette was slightly trembling, and her body was filled withcoldness.Her heart sank as her happiness from moments ago vanished in an instant.Is Samuel notgoing to divorce Kathleen? If things go on like this, I'll lose everything I have!That afternoon,Kathleen called Federick.Federick picked up the phone and said, “Hey, Kathleen.""Federick, yourvoice doesn’t sound right. What happened?” Kathleen asked, bewildered.”Madeline is gone! I'mreplaceing her right now.” His voice sounded extremely anxious.Kathleen sprang to her feet. “Gone?Send me your location. I'll help you replace her!”“No need. I shouldn't trouble you with this,” Federickrefused.Kathleen took her jacket and car keys. “It's all right, Federick. If something happens toMadeline, I'll be sad too. Let me replace her with you,” she persuaded as she made her way to thedoor.”Okay.” Federick nodded and gave her his address.Kathleen drove to the park where Federickwas searching for Madeline.Kathleen went to him and asked, “Federick, does Madeline come to thispark very often?"“Yes. It's very near to our house,” Federick replied with a desperate tone in hisvoice.Kathleen nodded."You know how Madeline is a special kid. Even if we call out to her, she won'trespond to us. What I worry about the most is that she won't shout for help even if somethinghappens.” Federick's eyes slightly reddened. Kathleen understood what he meant immediately."Weshould search the place carefully and not miss out on any corner,” Kathleen suggested.Federicknodded Kathleen bit her lip. “However, the two of us won't be enough. Hold on a minute.”She tookout her phone and called Calvin.Calvin answered the call. “Hello, Kate.”Samuel, who was sittingopposite Calvin, lifted his eyes.He frowned when he heard Kathleen calling Calvin.”Dad, can I borrowsome men from you?” Kathleen asked carefully."What kind of men do you want?" Calvinenquired."Your bodyguards will be good enough. I'm currently looking for a child but am short ofpeople,” Kathleen replied softly.”Is ten men enough? No, I should send twenty of them to aid you,”Calvin said in a serious tone.”Ten will be sufficient. I'm at Starlight Park now. Dad, please ask them tocome and replace me here,” Kathleen answered.”No problem. I'll have them go over right away.” Then,Calvin hung up the call. He asked his assistant, Simon, to make the necessary arrangementsaccording to Kathleen's request. After that, Calvin looked at Samuel with a dark expression. “The onewhom Kate asks for help from is me.”Samuel was speechless.”You as the husband can't evencompete with the father-in-law,” Calvin mocked.Hearing that, Samuel sneered.Nonetheless, he feltutterly displeased by the fact that Kathleen did not ask for his help.He got to his feet and said, “I'llgo and have a look.”Calvin smiled. “It's good to know that you'd feel threatened too, huh?"“I'm yourson after all.” Samuel frowned.Calvin stared at Samuel expressionlessly. “Samuel, the whole familyknows that you have the upper hand when it comes to you and Kathleen's marriage. If you want adivorce, no one can stop you. If you don't want a divorce, none of us can force you either. However,have you ever thought about Kathleen's opinion? Does she want to spend the rest of her life withyou?"“She does,” Samuel said definitely.Calvin replied, “That was the Kathleen before, but she mightnot want to now.”
